Triple-Double-Triple For Lyons

[user67765]

After being down to his last 2,000 chips Eoghan Lyons has tripled, doubled and then tripled up again to now have a pulse once more with 36,000 chips!

In the latest hand his {A-Spades}

got the job done on an ace-high board against both Vito Montalto and Kenneth Damm.

Could we see an amazing "two chips and a chair" comeback?

Play Slows

[user67765]

The players have tightened up a little more recently with many pots being won with a preflop raise.

However a recent pot made it to the river with the board showing {6-Spades}

. Sam Khouiss had limped preflop from the small blind, and after firing on the turn he checked over to Vito Montalto in the big blind who bet out 16,000 on the river. Khouiss threw his arms in the air and released his hand as Montalto flashed the {A-Clubs}

and scooped the pot.
